Storytime…

In a recent sextortion blog posted by Covert Results, a lot of people got interested and reviewed the blog. We had multiple calls with individuals admitting that sextortion had happened to them. We know this is a problem all across the world, with AI and technology getting a lot better. People have to be more cautious about what kind of information they’re putting out on the internet.

Child Custody Surveillance
Child Custody Surveillance

Child Custody Surveillance

Private Investigating in the “domestic” realm is often thought of as “catching the cheater.” However, the more common aspect is after a divorce has happened and parents are battling for custody of their children. Unfortunately, with the high rate of divorce, many individuals find themselves in court negotiating time with their kids. We have seen an increase in these type of cases for Covert Results and we have the experience to investigate these cases so that evidence is legally obtained and can be introduced in court.

Hemp Industry Security

Hemp farms in Tennessee have grown exponentially over the past few years. According to the TN Department of Agriculture there are over 3,000 hemp farms in Tennessee (and a few in neighboring states) as of May 2020. Issues can arise with this type of rise in hemp production. One of these issues can be theft of said hemp plants. Although motion censored lights and cameras can help catch or deter thieves, armed security is better to ensure complete protection. Covert Results has professional armed security officers experienced in guarding hemp production farms.

Virtual Teleconference Safety

With people recently starting to work from home we have seen a spike in cyber teleconference calls and video chats. These are great ways to stay connected to your work team, friends, and family. However, through these outlets you and your company could be subjecting yourself and others to a cyber-attack. There are those that look for unsecure chats and have been inserting explicit video and/or audio in these meetings. Covert Result has done some research to better prevent our clients, team members, and family from falling victim to unsecured video teleconferencing.

Family Owned Business

What did you want to be when you grew up? We asked everyone at Covert Results and got several different answers, from playing professional baseball with the Atlanta Braves to swimming with dolphins as a Marine biologists. Needless to say, none of the answers included owning and operating a business. It is not all glitz and glamour like some may think. There’s this one thing called expenses, oh and Uncle Sam! Owning a business can be very rewarding though. The owners must surround themselves by strong mentors and team members. For Covert Results, we have done just that!
